Today’s kids get a lot of flack about being lazy and clueless. Well, let me tell you about an amazing organization called CYT or Christian Youth Theater. It involves kids from ages 8-18 and they put on several productions and classes and camps throughout the year. My daughter has recently gotten involved and it has been a great experience for her. I love that she is exposed to all these smart, driven, and kind teenagers. She’s learning about being a part of something BIG and how everyone has to work together to succeed. She’s also gotten some great vocal training and dance work and stage experience which I know will stick with her. Even the try out was an experience. And here we are six weeks later and I have been totally blow away by the quality of this show and the kids that are participating in it. Anyway, it’s nice to see and be a part of… CYT is a national organization. For more information you can go to www.cyt.org. If you are in the Richmond area, come out and see Seussical the Musical (showing now) and Tom Sawyer (June). Go to www.cytrichmond.org for tickets. The productions are top-notch from sets to costumes to singing to dancing …. you name it. You can’t be disappointed!
Here’s my daughter as ZOE WHO in Seussical….

I’m busy working on book number three but just the other night I took some time out to have some friends over for an impromptu dinner. I used a recipe my neighbor has cooked a few times. It’s great and really easy!!!
For PORK
You’ll need:
boneless pork chops
a green pepper
onion
pineapple rings
butter
thick Kikkoman Teriyaki
Salt and pepper your chops. Place them on separate squares of foil. Top with a pat of butter, an onion slice, a pineapple slice and then the pepper (stack in that order). Pour on some teriyaki and grill to desired temperature. We served this with couscous which was a perfect side! Enjoy.
Here’s a picture of what the prepped meat will look like.
